In which situation can the population of a village decrease?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: More people leave the village for cities

Direct answer: Option A. If more people leave a village for cities, the village experiences out-migration. The number of residents can then decrease, especially when the number leaving is greater than the number arriving or being added through natural increase. Option B is wrong because a higher birth rate generally adds people and tends to increase population. Option C is wrong because improved health facilities do not directly remove residents; they may reduce deaths and support population growth. Option D is wrong because an increase in children means more young residents, not fewer people. The important idea is to identify the direction of migration: people entering increase the local population, while people leaving reduce it. The overall population also depends on births, deaths, and arrivals. Memory cue: out-migration means people go out, so the local population may go down.
